People show their personalities in their clothes, their cars and their homes. Because we might choose some foods to “tell” people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities. For example, some people eat mainly gourmet (供美食家享用的)foods, such as caviar (鱼子酱) and lobster (龙虾), and they eat only in expensive restaurants. They know about the “better things in life”.

People can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not to eat meat. Vegetarians(素食主义者) often have more in common(相同) than just their diets. Their personalities might be the same too. For example, vegetarians in the US and Canada may be creative(创造性的) people, and they might not enjoy competitive(竞争性的) sports or jobs. They worry about the health of the world, and they are probably strongly opposed (反对的) to wars(战争).

Some people eat mostly fast food. One study shows that many fast-food eaters have a lot in common with one another, but they are very different from vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also usually in a hurry. Many fast-food eaters might not agree with this description(描述) of their personalities, but it is a common picture of them.

Over the last few centuries， there have been many changes in our lives.

To start with， people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays， we have fast， comfortable cars， and more and more people can travel by plane.

Secondly， in the past， people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools that we have today. Today， most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.

Thirdly， in the past， the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses， and people could not buy lots of things like fridges， TV sets or washing machines. Now， most families have several of these things.

Finally， nowadays， more and more people have the chance to get a good education. In the past， there were fewer schools and the quality of education was much poorer. Also， it is much easier to find the educational materials that you need on the Internet now.

The scientific and technological development in the world is amazing. Life now is much faster and busier than it used to be. And we are still creating new things to make our lives better and easier.

Knitting(编织) is a popular craft in the United States. Knitters use needles and yarn to make garments such as scarves, gloves, hats, and sweaters. Some people prefer to knit by themselves. Other knitters enjoy getting together with others who love to knit, so they form a knitting circle—a club whose members chat and knit at the same time. If you want to start a knitting circle, planning is easy.

First, you should invite people to join your knitting circle. Ask your friends if they are interested in being part of the group. You only need two people to start your circle, but as the saying goes, “The more, the merrier!”

Next, you need to decide when and where to meet. A time in the evening or on the weekend might be the most convenient. You could get together at a member’s home, a local coffee shop, or a community(社区) center.

After you have decided on a time and place, tell the other members of the circle when and where you will meet and what they should bring. You might want to ask them to bring their own yarn and needles—and extra to share! Knitting circle members often lend and borrow materials (材料).

At your first meeting, you should discuss your long-term plans for the club. How often do you want to meet? Do you want to take turns to bring food and drinks to the meeting? Do you want to give things your group knits to a charity (慈善机构)?

Starting a knitting circle does not need much work. With some successful planning, after a few meetings, your group can become a close-knit community; in other words, a happy knitting family!

1.What is a knitting circle?

2.How many people do you need at least to start a knitting circle?

3.When is a good time for members of a knitting circle to get together?

4.What is the passage mainly about?
